How to work with checkboxes?

miguello

In my application on the launch window I have a set of checkboxes. They will define, pretty much, what steps of data cleaning will be performed with the table.

So I need pretty much to get the status of each checkbox and then run a corresponding function on each checkbox that is checked.

Manuals are pretty much useless, the only thing I got was that I can get a list of strings with the names of checkboxes that are selected.

cb << Get Selected()

Is there a snippet that pretty much gets that list and outputs flags (variables that are either 0 or 1 that I can use in IF statements)?

Is there any other way to parse the checkboxes into flags and run corresponding scripts?

Thanks!

This should get you started.

check_list = {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four"};

todo_list  = {};

nw = new window("Checkboxes", << modal(),

     my_cb = checkbox(check_list),

     panelbox("Actions",

           hlistbox(

                button box("OK",

                     keep_going = 1;

                     todo_list = my_cb << get selected;

                ),

                button box("Cancel", keep_going = 0)

           ),

     ),

);

nt = nitems(todo_list);

if (keep_going & nt > 0,

     for (i = 1, i <= nt, i++,

           if (todo_list[i] == "One",

//              Call function for One step

                print("One");

                ,

                todo_list[i] == "Two",

//              Call function for Two step

                print("Two");

                ,

                todo_list[i] == "Three",

//              Call function for Three step

                print("Three");

                ,

                todo_list[i] == "Four",

//              Call function for Two step

                print("Four");

           );

     );

);
